Kiera & Matthew's Glen Sanders Mansion Wedding Schenectady NY Wedding Photographers

Kiera & Matthew, June 24, 2023, Glen Sanders Mansion, Scotia, NY

It was a very warm June day for the Wedding of Kiera and Matthew over at Glen Sanders Mansion. Kiera and her girls got their hair and makeup done up in the Bridal Suite and the guys were down in the Man Cave hanging out. The couple exchanged letters and gifts to each other to open in their designated prep areas. After some celebratory toasts with their attendants the couple each got dressed. Kiera had the help of her mom and two honorary ladies. Since the couple wanted to not do a First Look, we had the Groom stay in place while we took the Bride and Bridesmaids around the venue for pictures. Once she was returned to the Bridal Suite, we called up the Groom and Groomsmen for their photo time. Everyone had a nice break before the Ceremony. Due to heat and previous wet weather, the Ceremony was held inside the Ballroom. The wedding party included 8 children who all took a special role. Kiera and Matt were wed in front of around 220 guests. After Ceremony we did a large Wedding Party shot. This was one of the largest wedding party’s we’ve seen, with 31 people in all. Then we shot some family portraits before taking the couple outdoors. Kiera and Matt stayed cool as cucumbers as we worked in the heat for some photos. They definitely had that just married glow. Reception kicked off in the Ballroom with extremely fun and entertaining entrances (even including a wrestling move). The couple’s first dance included some nice spins and dips and they each shared a special moment with their parents for parent dances. The sun began to set over the building and we headed to the balcony for some gorgeous sunset shots. The dance floor was packed the entire night and everyone made their way outside later in the evening for a spectacular Firework show. Congrats to Kiera and Matthew on your Union. We wish you both everlasting love and happiness.
